I've cracked and crossed GAI to both PSA and SGC and have gotten either the same grade or higher grades than what GAI had it in. It is a gamble but no more so I think than going from SGC to PSA or vice-versa. Just my 2 cents.

As a general rule, there is a reason higher end cards are in GAI holders. That is not the same reason as most PSA or SGC cards.


That left edge is kind of uneven, from the scan.....

If it were submitted to PSA or SGC, do you have to crack the card out of it's current case prior to submission or do you send it as is? I do not have a set/card registry so I've never had the need to cross (yet). Sorry to derail if this qualifies as off topic.

It can be done either way. Each has its upside and downside.

You don't have to crack it out to submit to another company. You can request a minimum grade, and if it doesn't meet that minimum they will return it to you in the same holder.

Your chance of crossing or improving the grade improves if you crack it out first, but obviously there's more risk with this approach.

I offered the seller to have him send it to sgc on my fedex account. I would pt to have sgc look at it, and if it crossed, I would pay him. If not, then I would pay to have it sent back to him

Guess what he said?

Something along the lines of "no thanks" sounds about right.

Gorgeous card but that bottom border is a little funky. Especially down on the middle/right.

Not enough of a chance to risk $12,250. In my opinion based on that photo, that card would merit an 8 grade from PSA and/or SGC. The only reason it wouldn't grade out is if it was slightly trimmed, based on that I'd stay away.

That's exactly what he said.

For 12k, it's a steal. But if it's trimmed, it's worthless

The problem with that "offer" is that you might as well have messaged the seller asking him to send you a free 10 grand. That would have eliminated the need to send the card to SGC and served the same purpose as your "offer."

Yes....that is what everyone is saying. This case is closed. The litigants for our next case are on their way in now!
